MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

[Egg Shooter]

Someone must have known that it's tree-trimming season for you?

Or they don't like him lol. I have the 310 version. I hate on it pretty hard. I like mcculloch but not that one.

The 300 Series saws are not bad performance wise, but the ergonomics on the top handle version is not great. The rear handle models (330, 340) are about as ugly as a chainsaw every could be, but they are quite comfortable to operate. Best wishes to you if you have to work on the carburetor side, there is quite a lot going on there with the carburetor & boot, impulse line, fuel line, and throttle cable all arriving in the compact little air box.

Yes! This. I had this one I have all apart. A Mini Mac is a pleasure to work on by comparison.

Does anyone know the points gap at TDC for a power mac 6? From what I hear the 10-10 is 19 thou. I should have checked before I tore my saw down.

Not just anyone can make a Super 797 with a 36" bar look small.

According to acres points gap is 18 thousandths and coil gap to flywheel is 10

You can never go wrong with 0.018-0.020" points gap on any points model McCulloch.

That's what I have noticed others say as well. Good info to know. Thanks!

Thank you! I found this in the clymer manual as well. I should have read that first...

As a suggestion rather than attempt to find all the parts for a "poppit" type decomp to tap the hole out and use normal type compression relief . Because evidently modifications are in the plan so called correctness doesn't apply so any decomp should work .Stihl, Husqvarna etc .Actually because of the displacement you really shouldn't need a decomp IMO .

The 10-10s is alive and running great!!!




I've ran out of room.
Still have a power mac 6 and the 500.

I'm probably just going to take out the branch and put in shelves.

It's the one without the bar.

I agree. I'm planning on just plugging it.

I still need to redo the fuel line on mine... Been procrastinating it. Can't wait to hear back from you on yours!

If the stub is leaking you can seal where it meets the tank with 3-bond or something similar. I put a little where it mates into the carb as well to ensure it won't leak. It will still come apart if you need it to. Just scrape the old off, reapply, and put back together.

Over on the other site I saw a way using Stihl trimmer gromets. I got them in stock but havent got around to it.

Interesting...I'd like to see that. Might be a more practical fix.

You can also put a small Viton O ring inside the carb inlet to seal it.
